    Jack Ryan got a reaction from The Librarian in The Real Ark of the Covenant May Have Housed Pagan Gods   
    According to the Bible, the biblical Ark of the Covenant contained the Ten Commandments Tablets, but some Israeli archaeologists have a different view.
    Haaretz media site publishes the story:
    The Real Ark of the Covenant May Have Housed Pagan Gods
    The holy ark was likely kept in Jerusalem for much less time than the Bible tells us. And it may have contained something other than the Ten Commandments.
    Quote: "These biblical stories may all contain echoes of the ancient cults connected to the ark. It is difficult to completely untangle the many layers of history and myth contained in this story thousands of years later, but a broader message does emerge.
    The Bible appears to describe the ancient Israelites, from Moses onward, as staunch monotheists who sometimes err towards paganism and are punished for their sins by God. But this picture may be the result of mostly self-serving propaganda by the priests and scribes of the late monarchic or post-exilic periods.
    The reality emerging today from the combined work of biblical scholars and archeologists is much more complex and diverse. It indicates that Judaism as we know it today evolved slowly and organically, incorporating a variety of influences and religious traditions from the mosaic of cultures that lived side by side in the region."

    The Flood may have been caused by all of the other planets being on one side of the earth simultaneously. God may have inserted the “youngest” planet Neptune on the other side to act as a gravitational corrective to make sure it cannot happen again!’

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from Srecko Sostar in The Time Left Is Reduced!   
    This could be said about anything.....
    And considering that time slows / stops in and on the event horizon of known black holes....
    it isn't universally true.
    Maybe the time left is "circular" and you just don't know it yet.
    Time is like slices of a loaf of bread... depending on the angle and the observers perspective.
    Time is relative.
    All the people who I remember using this phrase back in 1981 are now dead.
    I remember one sister watching Reagan in front of the UN and she practically declared the END HAD ARRIVED.....
    And here I am in 2021.... while she is sleeping in the grave.

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from ApostaBabe Linda James in The Sacred Field Ministry Stopped by a Bad Flu?   
    So a bad flu came along... scared the world and stopped the "constant feature" of our Kingdom service.....Hmmm
    I remember so many examples of righteous and brave brothers doing "underground" work in scary countries ... risking and sometimes losing their lives just so that some green bibles and watchtowers could make it to x country under ban.
    Fast forward to 2020.... JW's turn into Televangelists conveniently in the mid 2010's and all it takes is a bad flu to stop "the constant feature"
    "The sacrificial smoke" pleasing to Jehovah himself.
    The territories became so scary they had to stand with carts instead of actually approaching random people and knocking on doors.
    Fast forward and now we don't see anything going on anywhere.....
     
    If only the brothers back in the 70's and earlier knew that phone call witnessing once a week would be enough to garner eternal life.... no need to smuggle watchtowers or risk walking long driveways with dogs.
     
    So many lives wasted......
     
    And now you can be JW's by just subscribing to JW.org via your Roku and look presentable, repeat the same mantras that they tell you... and voila!  You'll be part of the "meek" inheriting the Earth while your neighbors will be "weeping and gnashing their teeth".....
    Except that part where you eventually get ill, need medical care, a job and have no money because you don't have a vocation.... why? Because getting an education was considered "worldly".... (while Televangelism isn't?)  That was the very definition of worldliness back in the 1989. (maybe heavy metal music was worse... slightly)
     
    Enjoy your exclusive and supposedly elite club.... it is disintegrating in front of our eyes.... it isn't even recognizable as the same JW's as yesteryear.... except for the judgmental, holier than thou, we will survive while everyone else dies mentality..... that is as strong as ever.

    Jack Ryan reacted to Isabella in México: Call center de Testigos de Jehová   
    Los testigo de Jehová en México ascienden a casi un millón, ante la pandemia adaptan su misión evangelizadora para evitar contagios. Son reconocidos por su labor permanente de puerta en puerta en los domicilios para predicar la Biblia, no obstente, cambiaron su dinámica evangelizadora y ahora realizan llamadas telefónicas al azar a través de un call center y reparten  cartas “con mensajes de aliento” por debajo de las puertas.
    También suspendieron las congregaciones, donde se reunían más de 150 personas, mínimo dos veces por semana; ahora son a través de Zoom.
    En palabras de Josué Zañudo, representante de la Sección de Información de la Congregación Cristiana de los Testigos de Jehová en México: “Nuestra predicación, que antes hacíamos en los domicilios, ahora la ejercemos mediante llamadas telefónicas y con cartas a través de un mensaje breve, pero a la vez animador, para entregar a nuestros vecinos y así no hay ningún riesgo (…) Hemos sentido que, sobre todo en estos tiempos de pandemia, la gente sí agradece las llamadas, las cartas; algunos han perdido seres queridos y las palabras de la Biblia les han caído muy reconfortantes”.

    @Melinda Mills
    How can you say that Jehovah didn't send the Four Horsemen when Jesus Christ himself is on the white horse?
    Is he not by very definition 'sent by God' himself?
    What about the "inspired word of God?" .... is it somehow flawed?

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from Matthew9969 in David Splane's 2020 Convention Talk: ....''Jehovah has to come first''   
    ''Has your desire to put Jehovah first been tested during this pandemic? You lost your job and you searched for another one. Finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service. What a temptation to take that job! You've been out of work for months. You felt helpless because a family member is supposed to provide for his family. It would take a lot of faith for you to refuse that job. Pray to Jehovah and then wait. Hold on a little longer to see what Jehovah would work out for you.''
    Translation:
    "Lost your job, brothers? Keep praying! Whatever you do, don't miss a meeting and keep donating so we have a comfy place to live at your expense."
